Brilliant article in today's Guardian.
Confusing our democratic rights to criticize Israel's war in Gaza with anti-Semitism is a horrific knee-jerk reaction from Minns. He has been itching to ban peaceful demonstrations. Rather do the right thing and ban guns.

The NSW premier’s outrageous rhetoric on peaceful protests sows division in our community. It’s unbecoming of his office
The antisemitic attack in Bondi was an act of hate-fuelled violence. Rushing through regressive laws in such distressing times is poor leadership – and dangerous

The press in Australia has gone overboard with alleged this week.
"Alleged shooter receives 59 charges"
There is absolutely no "alleged" about it.
Everyone who has watched a video clip saw the worst of humanity firing his rifle.
Completely inappropriate use of alleged for this shooter.

What happened to the days when the Australian wicketkeeper would walk if he hit the ball? Adam Gilchrist was a standard setter. But his standard has disappeared.
With Carey later admitting he thought he had hit the ball....

Why not investigate both? And stop this feeding at the trough by all politicians.
Hey James Massola why is it everyone else can find this stuff out on the Opposition but you can't? @sydmorningherald.bsky.social

Is it wrong to watch and rewatch the 9 minutes highlights of Liverpool being pummeled by Forest? Then the Newcastle vs Citeh rapid recap?

Well then I guess they shouldn't have invited England over. Nothing is more certain than the ashes being over in the first session of the first test if England bat first.

Can't say I'm a fan of the new YouTube interface on Google TV. Why a company has to change the effect of pushing the up arrow beggars belief. Why do they do this?
And having to select which account I want to use EVERY time I start the app? Is that the Australian government social media ban fault?

I think our only hope of watching entertaining cycle racing, with an actual race, is if Tadej Pogačar gets bored of bicycle riding.
Just unbelievably good. And dominant. But extremely boring.
Remco has looked like a club rider the last three races. And he's quadruple current TT champion.

Pity @carltonkirby.bsky.social and @brismithy.bsky.social didn't crack the nod on @tntsportsus.bsky.social for the man's race rather than the very poor Adam Blythe and Danni Rowe. After the way they called the woman's race it's a pity we get second best and adverts from Discovery plus.
Loving the @UCI_cycling Worlds in @visitrwanda_now ....having a blast with @BriSmithy ....great racing !

Lucky enough to get the feed with @carltonkirby.bsky.social and @brismithy.bsky.social calling the Woman World Championships Road Race. Brilliant race brilliantly called by these two.
Thanks gents.

The Australian Gov needs to ban X.
The lies, threats and defamation on there at the moment are crazy.
It’s seriously unhealthy for our most vulnerable & surely our government has a responsibility to protect them from that mental harm!
It surely had a responsibility to protect us from extremism?

The Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in match day 4 of 1977 1978 season. This weekend was match day 4.
Forest went on to win the title that season.
Is Ange capable of emulating Brian Clough when he talks so liberally about Forest's place in football?
Or is he just a big talker.
